The main trigger for growth in the global market for deception technology is the alarming rise in instances of cyber-attacks such as malwares, zero day attacks, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), among others. In response, organizations and governments across the world have substantially upped their expenditure on security measures such as deceptive technology to protect their networks and data centers against cyber-attacks.

In the past couple of years, the market has seen the emergence of many new technologies to tackle security issues more effectively. One such technology rapidly gaining prominence is called deception technology. It defeats malware by deceiving them in their own operation and thereby safeguards an organization against malware.

To elaborate a bit further, a deception network is one that acts as decoy that is installed to be compromised in the event of a cyber-attack. It helps track the activities of the intruder inside a network and hence enables network administrators and analysts bring about incident response analysis. It sends a warning to the original network and hence prevents it from being manipulated.

The main trigger for growth in the global market for deception technology is the alarming rise in instances of cyber-attacks such as malwares, zero day attacks, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), among others. In response, organizations and governments across the world have substantially upped their expenditure on security measures such as deceptive technology to protect their networks and data centers against cyber-attacks.

Other factors driving the global deception technology market are stringent government regulations, swift uptake of cloud-based technologies, and presence of digital and online data. On the contrary, issues hobbling the market’s growth are improper knowledge of security measures, rise of pirated network security tools, and lack of cyber expertise to deal with the complex software.

Global Deception Technology Market: Market Potential

Deception technology, still in its nascent stages, holds out a lot of potential for growth in the upcoming years. As a defense technology against hackers, it holds merit and larger organizations are already considering leveraging them to uncover threat in advance. Advanced deceptive technology solutions can save entities across the world almost trillions of dollars lost in cyber-attacks.

Sensing an opportunity in the market, cyber deception technology pioneer Illusive Networks mopped up funding from Microsoft Ventures recently for swift global expansion, investment in sales and marketing, and bolstering of engineering and support teams.

Going forward, the end use segments that are expected to generate significant demand for deception technology are the government, banking, financial services and insurance, and aerospace and defense.

Global Deception Technology Market: Regional Outlook

From a geographical standpoint, North America is a key region in the global market for deception technology. The region will likely advance at a good clip in the years to come powered primarily by the developed nations of the U.S. and Canada that are home to numerous well-entrenched and new vendors catering to both domestic as well as international clients. North America is followed by Europe in terms of market share.

Asia Pacific is another crucial market. The rising investments in network security by a large number of IT, telecom, and banking companies based particularly in the countries of China, India, and Japan are predicted boost the market in the region. Another factor slated to push the demand for deception technology in the region is the increasing investments in smart cities which leverage Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud technologies, among others.

Global Deception Technology Market: Competitive Analysis

Quality Center for Rehabilitation & Healing in Lebanon has partnered with TwelveStone Health Partners, introducing the center’s signature, state-of-the-art Pulmonary Independence Center (PIC). The Pulmonary Independence Center is the first joint program for TwelveStone Health and will serve patients with respiratory ailments, assisting individuals in healing faster and stronger. The highly-skilled specialty program is in conjunction with respiratory care provider, Encore Healthcare.

The PIC program will specialize in pulmonary disease management including diagnoses of congestive heart failure, COPD, and pneumonia. Through disease specific protocols, the clinical team at Quality Center will support patients through symptom management, pulmonary exercises, and therapeutic education.

Quality Center, under the leadership of administrator, Adrienne Pintilie, will dedicate ten patient beds to the PIC unit. The Center will acquire a full-time respiratory therapist that will support the program, including after hours on-call guidance. Quality Center will also feature onsite and remote patient monitoring through telemedicine. As the joint venture’s first site for Encore’s widely-respected PIC program, Quality Center will have the resources to treat and support patients with chronic cardiopulmonary illnesses through patient and staff education, advanced therapies, and complex care coordination, including remote patient monitoring. This will reduce costs for providers, and dramatically improve patient clinical outcomes.

“The rise of bundled payments, together with readmissions penalties, have hospitals motivated to move patients to rehabilitation facilities that truly understand the dynamics of respiratory care for chronic conditions such as COPD,” says Shane Reeves, president and chief executive officer of TwelveStone. “Encore’s PIC joined with our own skill in transitions of care provides Quality Center for Rehabilitation and Healing, a skilled nursing facility in Lebanon, with a niche program offering cardiopulmonary care that few others can match.”

“Skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities like Quality Center meet a need for patients on devices such as noninvasive ventilators or high flow therapy, as well as patients with tracheostomies who need to transition to breathing on their own,” says Zach Gantt, president and chief executive officer of Encore. “We get them back to living independently, and historically have helped reduce hospital readmission rates by 60 percent.”

Quality Center for Rehabilitation and Healing in Lebanon is a member of the CareRite Centers Network, a dynamic network of 26 skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers across Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Florida, and Tennessee. Quality Center’s mission is to provide unprecedented levels of genuine care and customer service for their patients in a soothing and tranquil healing environment. The uncommon denominator at Quality Center is that every touchpoint of every experience will not only meet, but will exceed your expectations.

Dr. Arvind Philomin helped at a major event in St. Petersburg Florida, attended by national experts and VIPS to benefit the Youth Literacy Campaign and other groups in the fight against illiteracy. This year new books and audio books will be provided to approximately 168,000 underprivileged school children nationwide.

NYC, NY (PRWEB) August 29, 2017

Dr. Arvind Philomin helped at a major event in St. Petersburg Florida, attended by national experts and VIPS to benefit the Youth Literacy Campaign and other groups in the fight against illiteracy. The annual event is sponsored by MGE Management Experts at their corporate headquarters near Tampa. This year new books and audio books will be provided to approximately 168,000 underprivileged school children nationwide.

The Youth Literacy Campaign is a program that raises money for children’s books, then through its partner programs, such as YALSA, Boy Scouts of America, the Boys and Girls Club, and Toys for Tots, helps get books into the hands of children around the United States.

A primary concern of those attending is that poverty and illiteracy are closely linked, leading to an unending, and vicious cycle in which the poor remain poor for generations. Dr. Philomin from New York City, decided to fight back to help break this cycle by joining forces with MGE Management Experts, by sponsoring the company’s semiannual Benefit Dinner to raise funds for the Improving Youth Literacy Campaign.

One notable person participating in the Benefit was Suzan Valdez. A local school board member, of the 8th largest county in the United States. Mrs. Valdez was elected to the Hillsborough County School Board in November 2004, and was re-elected to a fourth term in August 2016. She is one of seven members responsible for making policy decisions and overseeing a budget of 3 billion dollars serving over 213,000 students for the 8th largest school district in the nation, which is also the county’s largest employer with more than 25,000 employees. She was elected School Board Chair in 2010, and again in 2014, after serving as Vice Chair in 2009 and respectively in 2013. Mrs. Valdés is passionate about education and believes every child has greatness in them and can achieve their dreams. Her model is “An Education Can Never Be Erased”.

Dr. Philomin said, “Esthetix Dental Spa is committed to giving back to our community. We feel that participation with the Youth Literacy Campaign to promote literacy to underprivileged children is one of the best ways to do this. We believe giving he gift of reading will help young people break the cycle of poverty by gaining more ability to learn so they can get a better education, better jobs and success.”

At the event, guests enjoyed a fine dining experience from Café Ponte, a local Zagat rated fine-dining establishment. After the three-course meal, the clients of MGE participated in an auction that raised enough money to help ensure that thousands of children were given the help they require. Auction items were auctioned off, with the help of an exceptional Marilyn Monroe look-alike. Some of the auctioned off items included luxury handbags donated by Rebecca Minkoff; autographed memorabilia of entertainers and sports legends such as Mike Tyson, Eli Manning, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson and the cast of X-Men.

Oppenheim Law in Weston, Florida will be one of the first firms in the entire state to start accepting cryptocurrencies for legal services.

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) August 28, 2017

Oppenheim Law, a leading, boutique real estate and business-related law firm located in Weston, Florida, is now accepting digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum as payment for professional services.

“We decided to accept digital currency in order to keep on the cutting edge of law and technology, as we represent numerous clients engaged in buying, selling, and trading crypto currencies,” said Roy Oppenheim, Senior Partner of Oppenheim Law. “From buying coffee to booking vacations, there is a growing use of Bitcoin and related currencies to purchase goods and services. We decided that we needed to have some true skin in the game if we were going to continue to properly represent techno-savvy clients.”

There are no restrictions against attorneys’ acceptance of digital currency for legal services, and there are no Bar regulations concerning its use. Bitcoin and other digital currencies are considered a viable payment option. Accepting digital currency is similar to accepting a foreign currency, except that digital currency may be a little more volatile.

Digital currency is already playing an important role in business and the economy. “Whether we like it or not, digital currencies are here, and they will continue to grow not only online, but also in daily life,” said Oppenheim.

Oppenheim Law is already poised to be on the cutting edge of law and technology, as its clients have already sought legal advice related to cryptocurrency. “We fervently believe that taking Bitcoin will put us in a position to better understand the business, risks, and logistical issues associated with digital currency, which will, in turn, enable us to better serve our clients who are engaged with cryptocurrencies,” Oppenheim said. Also, some of our clients have repeatedly asked if we would accept cryptocurrencies, and I was tired of saying we were ‘considering it’… Now we can say ‘yes, we do.'”

“Bottom line is that what was once thought of as the future is now becoming more commonplace,” explained Oppenheim. The fact is that digital currency, which does not have a physical form such as a dollar bill, is here to stay, and we must adapt and move forward to accommodate the marketplace and businesses in general.”

Since 1989, Oppenheim Law has been serving South Florida and has practice areas in real estate, corporate law, commercial litigation, and health care. Backed by more than 100 years of collective legal experience, Oppenheim Law has Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and German speaking staff to serve its diverse clientele.

21st Century Facility Supports Milwaukee Growth and Workforce Development

Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) August 24, 2017

Gilbane Building Company is pleased to announce the successful completion of the 1.1 million SF Tower and Commons project for Northwestern Mutual in the heart of downtown Milwaukee along the lakefront. This important project allows Northwestern Mutual to better serve the expanding needs of its more than four million policy owners and clients. Gilbane served as construction manager on this massive downtown project with JV partner CG Schmidt.

The 32-story tower adjoins the two-block-long, three-story space known as the Commons. Amenities include a three-acre public green space with abundant gardens and trees, a coffee shop open to the public, an interactive museum, 75,000 SF food server on the second and third floors, 25,000 SF fitness center, and outdoor balconies on the 31st and 32nd floors.

The Tower and Commons construction began in 2014, and local community impact was a high priority for the team from day one. Early on, Gilbane worked closely with the Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership (WRTP/BIG STEP), Milwaukee’s Office of Small Business Development (OSBD), the Milwaukee Building & Construction Trades, local affinity groups including the ethnic chambers of commerce, and other key stakeholders who support and engage local and small construction firms and related services. Gilbane and its contracting partner dedicated full resources to support the owner’s commitment to the City of Milwaukee’s SBE requirements and residents preference program (RPP).

Small Business Enterprises were awarded more than $121.5 million in contracts and commitments of applicable construction and professional services contracts as of the end of 2016. Milwaukee residents eligible under the Residents Preference Program (RPP) performed 45.1% of the construction hours on the project for this same period. The final results on these commitments will be presented to the city of Milwaukee by year end 2017.

“The size of the Tower and Commons project is unprecedented for Milwaukee,” said Adam Jelen, Senior Vice President at Gilbane, “but what’s more impactful and really our mission from Day 1 was to make a difference in the small business community and in the inner city workforce of Milwaukee, and I truly believe we did make an impact.”
